IMPROVEMENT IN CHURS.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettere Patent and making part of the same.

Toallfwhom 'it may concern:

Be it known that l, F. A. LINDAL, of Stockton, in

ythe county of Chautauqua, and State of New York, `have inventeda certain new and useful Improvement-in Chorus; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part ot' this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a sectional View of my improved churn, with the cover thrown partially open. V

Figure 2, a cross-section of the saine, with the cover closed.

Lilie lettersoi' reference indicate, corresponding parts in both figures.

My invention consists in combining with a churn,

- having a rotary dasher, a cover of' dish-form, which,

when turned over, serves as a receptacle for the butter, while itfis being worked or otherwise manipulated. 4

Inthe drawings- A represents the churn-body; B, the' cover; and

C, the rotary dasher. i

The churn-body and cove'r combined, form a cylinder, andthe cover is so hinged to the body as' to turn `over iu auinverted-position, thus' serving as a receptacle for the butterin working, atterclmrning, or otherA wise handling.

, A passage, a., is formed inthe apex, which allows r free escape of water or buttermilk from the interior.

Inorder to retain the cover in the half-open position, shown in the drawings, a baror stop, D, is used, which rests between cross-piecesof' the framework, and stands in such a position tl1at`the cover will strike itin the rear; the insideof thecover when open, af'- i'ording a place tol lay the butter, as it is taken out of," fthe churn previous to being washed and worked.

The stop D also prevents the hinge from being bent or broken.

The dasher consists simply of ashaft, E, with crank,

Vand paddles or floats c c.

swers the double'pm'pose oi' a churn, and as a recep-4 tacle for the butter in working or otherwise, the cover serving this purpose by being turned over.

I am not aware that this eiicrt has ererhefore been produced.

In working the butter, it isV taken i'roin the churnbody and placed in the unriveted cover, and allowed to drain, while the buttermilk is drawn from the churn.

It is then placed back in the churlrbody, and subjected to the action of the dasher in pure water.'

Its` cheapness of construction and simplicity of forni, and its double use as a churn and washer, render it a very desirable, useful, and valuable machine.

' Tha-t I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. rlhe body of' a churn, constructed of two semicylindrical parts, one of which is so hinged to theother as to be swung over and form a receptacle for the butter, and likewise perforated at a, to allowthe escape of milk and water, as and for the purpose described.`

er B, so as to support it when open in either a vertical or horizontal position, substantially as and for the purpose described.

yIiiwitness whereof, I have hereuntosigned my name, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. 2F. A.'LINDAL, Witnesses J. R. BRAKE, C. N. WooDwARn.
